The Zeitgeist of Z: Little Man, Big Week…

Zeitgeist

Zeitgeist is a German term which as defined by Webster's Dictionary means, "The general spirit of an era". I am not so arrogant to think of myself as an era. Yet in some way we pull the spirit of a culture, the spirit of a people from the art they leave behind. This may include architecture, paintings, music, literature, and more.

I claim no great talent or brilliant insight, but it is my hope and earnest desire that through this site I may communicate the spirit of a family and a culture, the spirit of warmth and love, the spirit of adventure and peace, the spirit of those who have touched my life and, not least, the spirit of Z.

I am a minister, a husband, a son, a lover, a friend, a student, a teacher, a leader, a follower, a worshipper, an artist, and a human.

Welcome to The Zeitgeist of Z.

YAY!! My baby boy Samuel Elijah Zwakenberg was born 2/26/11 at 2:19 am, weighing 7 pounds 12 ounces and measuring 20 inches long.

The following pictures are here because my computer is finally working and I have been threatened if I did not. These are a fairly good sample, but I haven't spent much time at all working with them.

We want to introduce to you our little Sammy Eli;
